Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Trial of Wikoff, Vannoud, and Cavallari, for a Conspiracy to Effect a Forced Marriage Between Miss. Gamble, and One of the Accused: Before the High Court of Genoa, February 9 10, 1852
I set out on the 27th of October, and arrived at Turin on the 8th of November. On the following evening, the Courier told me that an English lady, Mrs. Austin, desired to see me. I went with the Courier, who pretended to con duct me to Mrs. Austin's apartment. The door of the room was open and candles lighted, but not seeing any one in the room, I would not go in. I returned to my own apart ment, and sent the Courier to the lady to inquire if she wished to see me that evening. He returned, saying that she was very much tired, and that she would see me to-morrow. On the following morning I learned, with surprise from Mrs. Harwood, that instead of Mrs. Austin, it was Mr. Wikofi who was in the room. At this I was very indignant, and wrote to Mr. Wikoff, desiring him to quit the hotel: to which he replied by entreating me to give him an audience. I re fused. Upon which he again wrote, saying that he should start for Paris, a statement which I believed, upon the asser tion of my Courier.
